Rugby fans without a ticket to Ireland's next match against the All Blacks could expect to pay almost €600 for a standard seat.

Seatwave.ie, which is a Ticketmaster company but only facilitates ticket sales by third-party sellers, is also selling premium tickets priced between €475 and €750.

Separately, Premiertickets.ie had advertised tickets on sale with prices starting at around €300 before taking down the webpage. None of the websites responded when contacted by the Irish Independent.

Official tickets originally cost a fraction of what is being asked on such websites.

Tickets to the Aviva Stadium match ranged from €25 to €95 for standard seats, while premium and corporate options cost around €120.

The IRFU was unavailable for comment last night, but has previously strongly advised fans not to seek tickets from disreputable or unofficial sources.
